Like You Meant It

[Intro]

(One day I'll dance alone, but still, can you carry me?)

[Verse 1]

Sway with you on the floor like waves that drag me under

My body moves as one with yours while you think about her

Falling short of a man

As you lead me with a violent hand

[Pre-Chorus]

One day I'll dance alone, but still, can you carry me?

[Chorus]

Like the shadows in the dark

Hold me close in your arms

With this night that we mend

Don't know where your body ends

Can we build what was lost

Or rebirth love from lust?

'Cause this love feels like death

So kiss me like you meant it

[Verse 2]

Steps dance along this ground built on stilts of sorrow

A cross hung abovе the bed sees the hеll of tomorrow

Strides we take tear us apart

Can't follow you when your soul is lost

[Chorus]

Like the shadows in the dark

Hold me close in your arms

With this night that we mend

Don't know where your body ends

Can we build what was lost

Or rebirth love from lust?

'Cause this love feels like death

So kiss me like you meant it

[Bridge]

It's not safe with him burning down our home

Tearing down the walls like limbs, you're better off alone

The dark me holds in its arms

Sing me to sleep just like a broken lullaby

Draw the life from my bones

[Breakdown]

Can't mend a broken heart with a broken man

I guess every parasite needs its host

And this host has nowhere to go

But I'm the one who's made my bed

So I guess I gotta die in it

Yeah, I guess I gotta die in it

[Pre-Chorus]

Sins left unatoned, affection left at sea

One day I'll dance alone, but still, can you carry me?

[Chorus]

Like the shadows in the dark

I'm too close in your arms

With this night that won't end

Don't know where your body ends

We can't build what was lost

Or rebirth love from lust

'Cause this love will be my death

So kiss me like you meant it
